Honestly? Moscow. Why? Because I hate the olympics and in Moscow the athletes would freeze their ****s off.

Capo, do you really think it's "freezing" in Moscow in July and August?

And why do you hate the Olympics?

i think they should be in .....
Auckland, give those kiwis a go, they'll kick everyones arse at one day cricket
out of the choices i think,
either paris or madrid, then the next one in moscow, then maybe later london, or rather we should have every olympics in either rio or some other 3rd world city.
thanks,

It can Hit 40+ Degrees in Moscow in the summer months!!

Some interesting opinions, But i think Greece showed that the Heat in some locations can give an unfair advantage to competitors used to hot condidtions (Anyone remeber Radcliff?). A temperate climate would level the playing field for all involved.

There could be some interesting new events if it was held in Baghdad!!

If they make them clean up this mess then I would vote NYC. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6993106/

I think the Olympics are boring as well....... But London deserves one, come on we had one in Utah recently and hosted another in the 90's we have had more thanb our fair share.

We=The US.

well america is also well renowned for hosting mediocre olympics.
thanks,

Yeah I doubt people liked the one where the bomb was set off, but who knows maybe they did.....

Olympics are no more Olympics. The last true one was Seul 1988.

mouz what makes you say that ?

over useage of illegal performance enhancing drugs ?

to much technology ?

seoul olympics were paticularly good ?

as you can see random guesswork here...

i'd have to agree with capo the oylmpics are boring, the 100m mens race is the highlight, only have to watch it for 10 seconds, and the womens vollyball is never nearly as good as i imagine.

voted london because im british and it'd be nice for us to build all those extra facilities.

Dunno... Maybe because olympic sports are no more regarded that seriously by the fat ass guys. I have the feeling that they become more and more customary each time. The so called sports of big marketing override them heavily and people no more really care about olympic medals... Maybe it's just me but that's how it seems to me.

Seul was pretty good AFAICR... I was a kid by then, don't remember any details, but watching and enjoying it.
